I don't feel entitled to a job or what comes with it, and feel that a good case needs to be made for why the group deserves what it gets; but I do feel that as part of the pilot group I am entitled to expressing why the GROUP can argue for restoration, or steps toward restoration. Trying to silence dissent to an opinion one does not agree with using the argument that because that someone wasn't personally and directly affected at a moment in time is trying to set them apart from the group. I expect my FO rep to not feel he can't argue for restoration because he has to avoid stepping on the toes of those who would scoff at his not having been personally affected at the time. Agreed?
